A couple years back I was working as a shipping supervisor at a job that I honestly despised. The place would temp anyone off the streets and numerous times hypodermic needles were found in the restroom. Management saw it fit to commission shipping into janitorial. I refused and was met with punishment. Then I broke into the oil and natural gas industry and was hired on by a great fella. Hands down best boss I've ever had and probably ever will have. The thing is, since I've graduated high school, I've been trying to get in with a local coal mining company. Its basically one of those places that you have to be someones son to get a job at. So after ten years, i get an interview and get hired. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for me. I toured one of their mines and loved it. Once I go to work there and learn stuff, I'll become a forth generation coal miner. So here is my predicament... I've always been happy to submit a two weeks notice. I usually cannot wait to leave. I'm dreading giving one now! Over time I've come to consider my supervisor my friend. I broke the news to my assistant supervisor and he said he's happy for me because he is a genuine good guy too. Its just one of those things though that I cannot decide how to go about it in the most professional and tactful way? A text message (probably not), a phone call, or a resignation letter? I should add that I might see my boss once a quarter so in person is not an option. I just want to leave on the best terms possible and let them know how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to work for them. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
